How Communities Are Planning - Coordination and Mobility Management

Some updates on mobility management and coordination in action:

Wasatch Front Mobility Management Project Final Report: This is a comprehensive assessment of one region's community transportation and a demonstration of its mobility management perspective in planning for transportation-challenged populations.

Illinois website with links to three-step primer on building public transportation, coordination, and service in rural areas. Cool map of public transit in Illinois counties. The website is part of the state's Interagency Coordinating Committee on Transportation (ICCT) Clearinghouse. The primer received a NADO award in 2007.

TA Coordination: Peer Exchanges


The Transportation Planning Capacity Building Program (TPCBP) recent peer exchanges include the Colorado Department of Transportation hosting the Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington State departments of transportation. Colorado was looking for voices of experience about establishing a rail and transit division in a state department of transportation.

A peer exchange on exurban to urban regional transportation planning compared the experiences of a few regions with mid to large-size cities and their fringe communities. The exchange partly discussed collaboration about across jurisdictional lines.

Write ups of the peer exchanges are available online. They go quite in depth and are terrific case studies about specific challenges.

    As you can see there are many resources that people can use when they are going through our Transportation Coordination Primer Process, Myths and Facts about Transportation in Rural Areas, and many other templates and tools.

    If anyone has questions about what we're doing, feel free to contact me at icctclearinghouse@gmail.com
